Places like Boston Market and Cracker Barrel will deliver the turkey dinner to you if you choose to order one of their heat-and-serve packages. Denny's is offering seasonal pancakes and a holiday dinner menu, making it an option for all-day eats. Or, help yourself to a Thanksgiving buffet at Golden Corral.

Planning to dine out on Thanksgiving? You're not alone. According to the National Restaurant Association, 1 in 10 Americans last year planned to eat their holiday meal at a restaurant. It may come as no surprise that millennials are more likely to head to a restaurant than Generation X'ers and baby boomers.
